Default Telescoping Steering Wheel

About how much travel is the telescoping steering wheel column supposed to be able to move??? Mine only seems to move about 1 inch or so. Is that how it is designed, or could there be something wrong with mine?

Something is wrong with it. Try to click the joystick for the column 7X times in either direction after it stops to see if it continues to move some more.

Mine had somewhere around 5-6" of travel.

Should have a travel greater than 1". I'd say something is not quite right.

That worked. Clicked it 6 or 7 times after it stopped and now it moves between 5-6 inches. Thanks.
